We enjoyed our short stay - comfortable beds, superb having two bathrooms, warm and welcoming and the view from kitchen window was lovely. Nice location down a quiet lane and a 12/15 min drive to M&S and Tesco. We will return to explore the area which we didnt have time to do on this visit.

Fabulous location with great views of the countryside and the animals. We loved watching the horses grazing and being exercised with Meg the dog. Apartment very cosy with good kitchen and bathrooms. Helpful and friendly owners on site.

This is not a five star property. Beautiful location with easy parking. Bright and usable kitchen area . Nice dining area, though chairs were replaced during our stay. Excellent television, but the sofas/ settees had a tear in the covering, and were worn and very uncomfortable. Bedrooms were well-furnished, though, beds were not entirely comfortaRead moreble for us . Black mould in the shower rooms needed attention, but there was ample hot water and nice towels . Yet, we enjoyed the locality and its many interesting attractions. Hide

Lovely peaceful location with good views across the garden,pond and fields beyond from the large windows across the kitchen. Loved watching the 7 geese and 4 goslings parade around the pond and the racehorses being exercised. Very comfortable with everything needed for a self catering holiday, well prepared and very clean.Easy access to Cardiff, Read moreDyffryn( N,T) and the wonderful Museum of Welsh life and several beaches.Unfortunately the village shop and post office no longer open but a large super market easily reached about 3 moles way.Very friendly and helpful owner. We will certainly return in the future. Hide
